Log Cabin Bird House Plans

Based on a popular children's building set we all grew up with, this design is easily adapted to building birdhouses and feeders. 

Because the birdhouse and bird feeder are likely to be used outdoors, these plans have been designed to use dimensional cedar readily available at any home center. Cedar is a great choice for these projects because it is naturally insect and weather resistant. The building set's design allows for making the feeder and birdhouse shown, or any layout you can create with the logs.

When Ralph created his Log Cabin Building Set, he knew that the design would be a great basis for making birdhouses and feeders. But as they are outdoor items, he needed to rework the plans for outdoor use, and chose to use common cedar lumber because it is readily available at home centers.

In this book, Ralph provides all the information needed to create both a birdhouse and a bird feeder. The joy of this "building set" design, is that you can make as many parts as you wish, and arrange them in any size or shape you can imagine.

Book contains measured drawings and jig plans. We also included a bird chart to help you attract birds you desire.
